PARADISE EXOTIC CAR FIELD GUIDE
Living on the Edge: Crimson Trail Drive and Ridge Hike Above Logan Canyon
A private classic-car drive through Logan Canyon that culminates in a steady, exposed ridge hike to panoramic canyon views—this guide explains what to expect on the full 6.5-hour Crimson Trail Experience.
Living on the Edge: Crimson Trail Drive and Ridge Hike Above Logan Canyon.
Race a vintage engine through the tight turns of Logan Canyon, pause at a spring tucked beneath towering cliffs, then trade the car for boots and climb a narrow, exposed ridgeline that opens the canyon beneath you—Crazy for Life’s Crimson Trail Experience is a full canyon day that stitches together an extended scenic drive with one of Northern Utah’s most striking ridge hikes.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Extended Logan Canyon Drive with Scenic Stops
The experience is as much about the road as the summit: a long, winding drive alongside the canyon river that continues past forested stretches and towering cliffs, with a planned scenic stop at Ricks Spring.
Authentic Classic Cars and the Sound of Old Engines
Depending on availability and group size, the fleet may include a Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 (replica), a Volkswagen T1 “Mango” Bus, or an AMC Jeep CJ7 V8—each vehicle shapes the drive’s character, from raw mechanical feedback to vintage charm.
Crimson Trail Ridgeline with Exposed, Panoramic Views
At the trailhead the route climbs steadily to a dramatic ridgeline; sections are narrow and exposed, requiring sure footing and comfort with heights, but the payoff is wide-open views over Logan Canyon.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
You begin at Crazy for Life headquarters for a brief introduction, then follow a winding mountain road deep into Logan Canyon—the engine note and changing elevation are integral to the experience. After a scenic pause at Ricks Spring you return toward the Crimson Trail trailhead, switch from driving to hiking, and climb a steady, occasionally exposed ridge to a panoramic summit where a signature snack break awaits. The descent and return drive close the loop with a calmer, clearer perspective on the canyon.
